AMSARA: Accession Medical Standards Analysis and Research Activity. Report of 2006 Attrition and Morbidity Data for 2005 Accessions

Abstract

The Accession Medical Standards Analysis and Research Activity (AMSARA) has completed its tenth year of providing the DoD with evidence-based evaluations of accession medical standards. The Annual Report presents descriptive statistics that AMSARA compiles annually and publishes for historical and reference value as well as special studies. Studies in this Annual Report include a study of stress fractures in female military recruits, an abstract from the Assessment of Recruit Motivation and Strength (ARMS) study, and a survival analysis of new recruits requiring a medical waiver for knee or shoulder instability. The descriptive statistics are for applicants who enlisted in 2005. Data are collected while the recruits remain on active duty for their first year (during 2006 for this report). The data are then collated, cleaned, and analyzed during the first half of the subsequent year (2007 for this report). By convention, the annual report is dated for the last year of data on which the analyses were performed.
